Stock market today: Dow closes above 44,000, tech shares stumble as traders eye inflation data

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Indexes slipped Thursday as investors priced in a higher-than-expected inflation reading.</li><li>The data raises the possibility of a "no landing" scenario for the US economy.</li></ul>Stocks fell on Thursday from records reached in the previous session, as traders took in a sticky inflation reading for September. All three benchmark indexes fell, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down TK points, a 0.40% fall, while the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.% and 0.%, respectively.The declines follow rises across the board on Wednesday, which saw a fresh record close for both the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow, and comes after inflation proved stickier than expected last month. September consumer price index data released on Thursday showed inflation <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inflation-september-cpi-consumer-price-index-federal-reserve-interest-rates-2024-10">rose 2.4% year-over-year</a>, slightly above consensus forecasts of a 2.3% rise.The core CPI reading, which excludes more volatile food and energy costs, was up 3.3% year-over-year and just above forecasts of 3.2%.The reading, coupled with last week's blockbuster jobs report, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-economy-outlook-retail-sales-no-landing-inflation-jobs-report-2024-10">has sparked talk of a "no landing"</a> scenario for the US economy, a scenario in which strong economic growth fuels inflation and makes it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. A no landing would likely mean rate cuts are fewer or slower than markets had previously forecast. It would also mean borrowers are saddled with higher interest rates on their debt for longer.After the CPI release, investors <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-volatility-cpi-inflation-september-jobs-report-bofa-2024-10?_gl=1*24ex3i*_ga*MTY3OTgyNjg0MS4xNzIxMDE2MDM2*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTcyODU2NDg1Mi4yNTAuMS4xNzI4NTY1OTMzLjYwLjAuMA..">adjusted their expectations</a> for the Federal Reserve's easing cycle. The September jobs report had killed the odds of another big 50 basis point cut, but the slightly higher-than-expected CPI likely isn't enough to fully pump the brakes on Fed easing."Heading into the report, we thought only a very firm print would lead the Fed to consider pausing in November based on inflation alone. We did not get that," analysts from Bank of America said Thursday."While core PCE will be firmer than recent months, we think it will be enough for the Fed to follow through with a 25bp cut in November," they added.Investors are now pricing in higher odds of a 25 basis point rate cut at the central bank's meeting next month, according to the <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html">CME FedWatch Tool</a>.Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims edged up 33,000 to 258,000, according to Labor Department data released Thursday.

Investors pushed past concerns about Google parent Alphabet to take the Nasdaq Composite 0.6% higher.

Economists are expecting consumer prices to have risen 0.1% for the month and 2.3% year-per-year in September, slightly cooler than the increases recorded in August."The Federal Reserve appears to remain comfortable with where inflation is and trending," Josh Hirt, a senior US economist at Vanguard, said in a note. "Although inflation remains elevated, we do not see a material effect on the Fed's trajectory of rate cuts."Markets also gained some confidence over the path of rate cuts after the Fed released the minutes of its September FOMC meeting. Central bankers predicted inflation would fall to 2% by 2026, while risks to economic strength were "tilted to the downside."Some officials, though, said they would have preferred a 25 basis-point cut at the Fed's last meeting, while "a few others indicated they could have supported such a decision," the minutes said."[W]e think that FOMC is still spending too much time looking in the rear-view mirror, taking too much comfort from the recent strength of the economy, and not paying enough attention to leading indicators pointing to weakness ahead, and the likely lagged impact of earlier tightening," Oliver Allen, a senior US economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said in a note. "We expect the Fed to be acting for far more urgency to avert a significant slowdown around the turn of this year, as the economic data continue to head in that direction."Markets are largely expecting the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points at their next two meetings, bringing the Federal funds rate range to 4.25%- 4.5% by the end of the year. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the odds for another jumbo-sized rate cut in 2024 have fallen to zero.

More than 80 S&amp;P 500 companies are scheduled to report third-quarter earnings results this week, with major names like Netflix, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley on deck.According to data from Fundstrat, 6% of S&amp;P 500 companies have already reported their results. Of those, 74% beat profit estimates by a median of 6%, while 58% beat revenue estimates by a median of 2%.It's a relatively muted week on the economic data front, with investors likely to focus on the Thursday releases of September retail sales and initial jobless claims.Both data points will give investors insights into the health of the consumer and job market, respectively.There is also some Fedspeak this week, with Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler set to speak on Tuesday.Fed Governor Christopher Waller spoke on Monday, saying that there should be "more caution" on future interest rate cuts as the economy remains on solid footing."I view the totality of the data as saying monetary policy should proceed with more caution on the pace of rate cuts than was needed at the September meeting," Waller said at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.He added: "I will be watching to see whether data, due out before our next meeting, on inflation, the labor market and economic activity confirms or undercuts my inclination to be more cautious about loosening monetary policy."According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are pricing in a 25-basis point interest rate cut at both of the Fed's remaining FOMC meetings this year in November and December.Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Monday:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">S&amp;P 500</a>: 5,859.85, up 0.77%</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/dow_jones?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a>: 43,065.22, up 0.47% (+201.36 points)</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_composite?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Nasdaq composite</a>: 18,502.69, up 0.87%. </li></ul>Here's what else is going on:<ul><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-stock-tests-record-highs-wall-street-defends-valuation-blackwell-2024-10">Nvidia stock tested record highs on Monday as analysts at Citi defended the company's current valuation.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-overvalued-sp500-bullish-earnings-momentum-rally-valuations-2024-10">Even though the stock market is overvalued by about 8%, Piper Sandler says that's no reason to sell stocks.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-stock-robotaxi-cybercab-tsla-fsd-elon-musk-ross-gerber-2024-10">Longtime Tesla investor Ross Gerber had some critical words on the company following its robotaxi event.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nike-ceo-elliott-hill-takes-over-faces-challenges-2024-10">It's the first day for Nike's new CEO, Elliott Hill, who started working at the company as an intern in 1988.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-saudi-arabia-oil-price-war-supply-opec-cuts-2024-10">Saudi Arabia could create a crisis for Russia's economy by flooding the market with oil.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-bull-rally-anniversary-earnings-interest-rates-sp500-2024-10">The bull market in stocks is 2 years old.
